<p>I just got an e-mail sent out today to about 20 Orlando area applicants regarding alumni interviews for Princeton. This is extremely nerve-racking for me, since I will have an interview (well, almost certainly) next week and I really don't have much of a clue at what I should be expecting! What would be some possible questions that I should be expecting, and how relaxed or not relaxed are these anyways? Oh, and I have faculty interviews at Rollins next weekend too for a full-ride scholarship, so I'm in definite need of possible questions or direction!</p>
<p>I had my interview last week. I'm an international, so I don't know if you'll get similar questions, but basically I was asked mainly about why I chose Princeton, and why I'm interested in majoring in economics. The interviewer told me that the main point of the interview is to sell you on going to Princeton, and that evaluating candidates is a secondary goal. I wouldn't be too worried - just relax. The interview was at a cafe in a train station, FWIW, and the atmosphere was quite informal.</p>
<p>Mine was also very informal and relaxed. All interviewers are different, obviously, but just relax and have answers to the obvious questions (why you want to go to Princeton, why it's a good fit for you, etc.). Best of luck!</p>
<p>Princeton's interviews are more informational. Only 10 or 15 minutes were spent talking about me and the rest was my interviewer talking about his experience at Princeton.</p>
<p>I had the same experience as virtuoso. It was pretty relaxed.</p>
<p>I'm sorry I'm interrupting the flow, but the alumni who interviewed me just wanted me to ask questions. Of course, we learned about each other while she answered my questions but does it ever happen? I mean she did not even ask why I want to go to Princeton. Also, she brought her daughter. Overall, it took about an hour, but do you guys think it will be bad in the admissions to have this kind of interview?</p>
